“Nudity isn’t inherently sexual.  In fact, it’s not sexual at all.  A naked body is simply a naked body, nothing more.” – Naked Thought for Today, http://nakedthoughtfortoday.tumblr.com/archive

“Love your naked body.  Moved to tears by honest nude photography.  The Embody Project.” (Video) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC1kNS-W-C0

“Won’t children become more sexually promiscuous?  Naturists teach that nudity is not related to sexuality.  We believe that naturism is an effective way to combat the overly sexualized society we currently live in.  Naturist children learn that the body is not to be objectified.  Unlike people whose first exposure to genitals is through pornography, naturists learn that all parts of the human body are normal.  In general, there is overwhelming evidence that education leads to lower teenage pregnancies and lower incidence of sexually transmitted disease among young people.” - http://www.bareoaks.ca/index.php/en/about-naturism/children.html

“Let the air be my robes and my body be its soul.” - https://twitter.com/NudistCommunity

“When we are naked and accepting, equality blossoms.” – Beatrice Hazelhurst, http://www.papermag.com/naked-yoga-1-2526337039.html?platform=hootsuite

“In our own home my wife and I have no problem with nakedness, neither ours nor anyone else's.  When someone is coming into our home who is not aware of our situation we do try to advise them before they arrive. . . They can go ahead with their scheduled visit and take whatever is the situation when they arrive, the option is to not arrive at all.  Of course then might come another discussion about anything in the way of an alternative can be arranged for the visit.  When we (or just I) are naked and a person is clothed in our own home it isn't a problem at all. (for us!).  When there are several naked people in our home (mainly family members) there isn't usually a problem when a clothed person arrives because we will have pre-advised them of the situation.  We do however notice two different sets of 'feelings' that occur with the clothed persons in these scenario's.  If we have just ourselves (or myself) naked and there are one or more clothed persons in the situation there is no awkward feelings for anyone.  When there are several naked people and one clothed person in the situation, it is the one clothed person who begins (usually) to feel awkward and embarrassed, even with the standard preliminary advice being given.  So, just in this 'home' scenario we have deduced that one clothed person with a few naked people feels wrongly placed.  However, one naked person with a few clothed people does not feel wrongly placed?” – Patrick Thompson, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/946/is-there-a-problem-at-all/
